  1. Hi (again) I need to fit a rear child seat to the Vitesse. I think a 3 point static would work ok, Any advice on how/where to mount? Cheers
  2. Cheers for all the great advice. Will upload a photo when l can figure out how to do it :-)
  3. Thanks for the advice, I will revert back to what l know, I am not going to be using the car hard, so high spec really doesnt matter, more interested in keeping the pressure up when cold starting to prevent that dreaded rumble that l have had in the past in previous cars, so wouldnt the 20/50 indicate that the oil is thicker when cold which would be better than the 10/60?.
  4. OOps thought they images had uploaded, back to the drawing board.
  5. This is my Vitesse, bought yesterday in a mad rush as l had been searching for a while. Lot of mechanical work done, and although scruffy paint, apart from one small hoile on the front wheelarch, extremely solid. Has what appear to be original carpets and hood, and all the little stickers that they came with. Looking forward to some summer rolling restoration.

    Vitesse oil

    Hi, l have, at long last got a Vitesse Mk2. The chap l bought it from told me he was running fully synthetic 10/60, I am a little sceptical about new fangled oils, and wonder if l would be better going back to 20/50 which would maintain a better consistency when warm..am l right? Oil pressure when warm at 2000rpm is about 50lb, with around 30 at idle.
  7. Dougbgt6, l have tried to contact the area rep for South Wales, where the car is advertised, however the number just rings out. Its a shame as l am a genuine buyer and if l could only get to speak to the vendor then maybe a deal could be done. The ad is recent, so theres a chance its still for sale.
  8. Thanks for the info. We went today down to the Midlands to view a car, sadly after all the hassle that goes with viewing and potentially buying to drive home, such as insuring etc, we found the car not to be as we expected. So back to the drawing board, hopefully the message sent via the TSSC to the vendor of the car in the classifieds will be forthcoming.
  9. Hi, long time Triumph owner/enthusiast, currently car less. Looking for a Herald or Vitesse convertible as a daily driver,,Something mechanically sorted but perhaps needing a little tlc. I have seen a good prospect on the TSSC classifieds, however unable to contact the owner direct (South Wales)..pity as weekend free and cash burning hole :-) . So if anyone knows of or has a suitable candidate, then please let me know. Cheers
